- nTom. 1. pag. 477. At an non per Sacramenta etiam fides & regeneratio exhibetur? Resp. Distinguendum inter primum fidei & resipiscentiae initium, & confirmationem ejus ac augmentum. Nemo admit•tur ad Sacramenta nisi pro fideli & penitent habeatur; quemadmodum verba clara sunt, Quisquis crediderit & baptizatus fuerit. In•ntes habentur pro foederatis, ac proinde etiam pro iis qui Spiritum fidei acceperunt, sed de hac repostea. Sic in Coena requiritur, ut […] probet see an sit in fide, & ut digne manducet: infidelibus enim vel nondum credentibus nullae fiunt promissiones, ac proinde nec obsignantur.
